NameBank SOAP interfaces can be used to create a data management environment that allows NameBank to serve as a names repository for multiple data management environments. SOAP output functions are used to access current NameBank metadata. A namebank_insert method is used to create NameBank records. The namebank_insert method has an authentication component that requires a uBio keycode with editorial access.

Data management is handled locally through a set of applications linked via the uBio Admin Panel.
